The Changing Operations of IT Infrastructure
IT Infrastructure is undergoing rapid technological advancement with the advent of cloud computing. Previously network servers on hardware, either dedicated or hosted were cumberson, noisey and needed replacement every 5 years or so. This made IT infrastructure a major cost for businesses.
Cloud computing instroduces IT infrastructure as a service where you pay per byte of usage. This can quite dramatically reduce the total cost of IT hardware and services over time. Cloud applications as a service also offers the small to medium size business an opportunity for further cost reduction in their IT infrastructure.

More businesses are turning to Cloud Computing. Cloud computing is a means of delivering IT resources as services that incorporate infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) all over the internet.
All you need is a computer, an internet connection and a cloud hosting service provider. Users do not need knowledge of or expertise of the technology infrastructure in the *"cloud". *(Wikipedia describes the term cloud being "used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on how the Internet is depicted in computer network diagrams, and is an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it conceals").
